Has anyone walked up the eastern end of Birkhouse Moor as opposed to the 'normal' route skirting round to the south and then heading up. AW describes it as a scramble not for those with aged, aching limbs, or something like that I don't have my copy with me.
My son aged 10 wants to do this route, he's game for most things, but I wondered what anyone who had done it thought.
